Trump Calls RFK Jr. A “Democrat Plant”

President Trump called out Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a string of Truth Social posts on Friday night.

Trump stated, “RFK Jr. is a Democrat ‘Plant,’ a Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place in order to help Crooked Joe Biden.”

“A Vote for Junior would essentially be a WASTED PROTEST VOTE, that could swing either way, but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him,” added Trump.

Currently, RFK Jr. is attempting to gain enough signatures to be on the ballot in all 50 states.

Kennedy has already secured his name on the ballot in Michigan, North Carolina, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Nevada, Nebraska, Idaho, and Iowa.

Here’s what Politico reported:

Former President Donald Trump launched a social media tirade against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Friday night, saying a vote for the independent candidate would be a “wasted protest vote” and that he’d “even take Biden over Junior.”

The wild card independent, a thorn in the side of the Democratic Party for siphoning voters from President Joe Biden, has become a source of increasing anxiety for the GOP as he threatens to also pull votes away from Trump in November.

In a string of posts to his Truth Social platform, Trump called RFK Jr. a “Democrat ‘Plant’” strategically placed to help Biden’s reelection campaign, and sought to play up policy areas where Kennedy appears more left-leaning.

“RFK Jr. is a Democrat ‘Plant,’ a Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place in order to help Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the History of the United States, get Re-Elected. A Vote for Junior’ would essentially be a WASTED PROTEST VOTE, that could swing either way, but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him. Junior’ is totally Anti-Gun, an Extreme Environmentalist who makes the Green New Scammers look Conservative, a Big Time Taxer and Open Border Advocate, and Anti-Military/Vet…”
